  • Connection between a plastics quill shaft and a metal element
    Patent number: 4715739
    Abstract: The end region of the fibre reinforced plastics hollow shaft (1) is clamped between an outer ring (3) and an inner ring (21) provided on the metal part (2) which is to be connected to the shaft. The two rings are clamped to the shaft wall and to one another so that there is a frictional connection between the shaft (1) and the metal part (2). The rings are clamped thermally by shrinking the rings on and into the shaft. This type of connection between a plastics shaft and a metal part is very simple and effective. (FIG. 1).
